 Lincoln started off strong, scoring early when Jose Barralaga crossed
a ball to Eddy Milien, who received the ball and struck it past the
Lincoln Land goalie. Lincoln would keep the pressure on for the
majority of the half, getting several great chances before Ben
Frogner found Jason Velasquez on top of the box and Velasquez took a
one-time shot into the side netting for the second goal. Despite
outshooting Springfield and having chance after chance, Lincoln was
unable to find another goal in the half. But Lincoln Land would get
a cross into the box, and it was misjudged by the Lincoln defense
and put away by Lincoln Land."At half we talked about not giving
up easy crosses in our box and to push the issue and get more
goals," said LC head coach Ben Massena.

Lincoln came out strong again, getting five chances in the
first 10 minutes, but did not find the back of the net. Lincoln
Land scored their second goal with 30 minutes left on a cross
that was headed in. They would find their third and game-winning
goal with 15 minutes left. Despite outshooting Lincoln Land
21-4, Lincoln was unable to score another goal.
"We led every aspect of the game in shots, possession and
corners," Massena said, "but we didn't do well at putting the ball
away."
With the loss, Lincoln falls to 5-2 on the season and 1-2 in
region play.
